Classic recipe
The very first recipe for making it is, of course, a classic one. It requires the minimum amount of ingredients and not much time.
I’ll say right away that it’s better to choose sweeter fruit.
Since when heated in the oven it tends to become sour, so the sweeter our apples, the better.
Ingredients:
- apples,

Preparation
1. First of all, you need to take the fruits and rinse them well under water.
2. Prepare a deep baking tray, pour no more than half a glass of water onto it and place the fruit.
3. Leave to bake in the oven for half an hour, setting the temperature to about 200 degrees.
Check readiness with a toothpick. The pulp should become soft.
In this recipe, it is important not to overcook the apples in the oven, otherwise they may become dry and the skin may burst. Therefore, carefully monitor the degree of cooking.
Bon appetit!

Baked apples with honey in the oven.
Yesterday, once again, I prepared one of the simplest desserts that can be easily prepared in any kitchen - baked apples with honey in the oven. This time it was a version of apples with honey and cinnamon. I, and my whole family, like this recipe for many reasons: its simplicity, speed of preparation, and of course the taste of apples. As for time, baking apples with honey in the oven takes me about 20-25 minutes - it depends on their variety and size. I think everyone has the ingredients - apples, honey and an oven, at home, and even if something is missing, you can buy it at the nearest supermarket)))
Let me tell you in detail how I baked apples with honey in the oven yesterday.
Firstly, the number of apples. I would not recommend baking a large number of apples with honey in the oven at once, as
They're especially delicious when freshly prepared, so take enough to eat in one sitting. As a rule, I make them from four to six (for four family members). As for the variety of apples, you need to choose hard ones; personally, I prefer “Simirenko” - a variety that, again, is available in almost every grocery store.
As for honey, be guided by your taste preferences, but the main rule is that it should be in a liquid state. If you have sugared honey, then it doesn’t matter - put it in a water bath and it will return to its original state.
Let's start cooking. First of all, remove the core from the tail side of each apple, making a hole with a diameter of 2-2.5 cm, the bottom of which goes just below the middle of the apple. Just don’t pierce the apple all the way through, otherwise honey from the apple will simply flow out onto your baking sheet through this “hole” when baking in the oven.
making a hole in an apple
The next step is to cut off the skin of the apples adjacent to the hole at a width of 1.5-2 cm. This is done specifically when baking apples in the oven with honey and cinnamon.
cut off the peel adjacent to the hole
Now it’s time for the last ingredient - cinnamon - this favorite spice is perfect for our apples. It will enrich their taste and also give the dish a seductive aroma. How do I use it? I mix it with a little sugar and scatter the mixture on a saucer. After this, I dip each prepared apple into this mixture at the place where the peel was cut, allowing them to be properly coated in cinnamon. I make sure that the apples acquire a rich brown-golden color.
dip apples in cinnamon
Now we can fill our apples with honey. Here it’s also to your taste: you can fill them to the top, and I, for example, put only 1.5-2 teaspoons of honey. It seems to me that this is quite enough to soak the apples. Overdoing it can make the apples too sweet.
pour honey into apples
You can also sprinkle the honey on top with cinnamon.
The oven must be preheated to 200-250 degrees. While it is heating up, prepare a baking sheet. There are different ways: you can, for example, pour a centimeter and a half of water into it, and place apples in it, but I did it the old fashioned way - on foil.
place the apples on a baking sheet
When the oven is ready, place the baking sheet with the apples and leave them for about 20 minutes. After the time has passed, you need to look at the condition of their skin, which is an indicator of readiness. The fact that our apples with honey are ready in the oven will be indicated by such signs as wrinkling of the peel, or, like mine, the peel has completely burst.
readiness)))
So everything is ready! Take it out, let it cool and enjoy the taste of baked apples with honey in the oven! Fast and easy.
So, briefly, how we prepared baked apples with honey in the oven.
- Cut out the core of the apples, forming a hole;
- Cut off the peel adjacent to the edge of the hole;
- Roll the exposed apple pulp in cinnamon;
- Fill the apple holes with honey;
- Place the apples with honey in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees for 20-30 minutes;
- If the peel wrinkles or bursts, the dessert is ready.
